No way we can keep this kind of breakfast goodness to ourselves. Arguably the best meal of the day, breakfast even shows up as brinner come dinner time – and for a very delicious reason. It’s awesome! This is a meal Torrance happily pays tribute to and these spots are among the best.

Waking up to a fabulous breakfast definitely has its perks. At these hotels, you’ll find an amazing one just downstairs, way better than your typical continental breakfast.
Treat yourself to a traditional Japanese breakfast at Ise-Shima in the elegant Miyako Hybrid Hotel, where their breakfast buffet offers both American and Japanese dishes.
For a healthy breakfast in a relaxing, modern vibe, stop in at the Bistro at the Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Torrance/Palos Verdes where avocado toast and a cup of Starbucks await. Inside the Torrance Marriot Redondo Beach, you can breakfast it up at 21 Square on coastal fare.

Good news! Breweries do breakfast too. On the first Sunday of the month at Smog City Brewing, you can treat yourself to brunch specials by Bison Burger Truck and enjoy a hand-crafted Michelada. You can also catch a football brunch on Saturdays and Sundays at Brews Hall. With several restaurants and breweries inside, you can feast on a spectacular Breakfast Burrito from Chingon Kitchen, straight-up Crispy Chicken & Waffles from Chicken T.W.I.L.I., Avocado Toast from Rock ‘N Fish and lots more.

Perhaps the most unique spot on our list, King’s Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant is a hands-down Torrance favorite. Their King’s Hawaiian French Toast is our pick and their breakfast is available all day, so brinner is definitely an option.
When in Torrance, eat like the locals do at Rudy’s in Old Torrance. It’s an old-fashioned diner with spectacular breakfast specials like their John Wayne breakfast and their many amazing omelets.
If organic oatmeal and acai bowls are how you breakfast, then we highly recommend Beach Bowls Acai Café. Smoothies, pitaya (dragon fruit) bowls and acai bowls are what they do best.

Cozzi Café over in Old Torrance is bursting with rom-com charm and quirky drinks like Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee, Camouflage Matcha with chocolate and Coconut Voodoo, a caffeine-free detox drink with activated charcoal and tropical coconut.
Chado Tea is another unique spot you’ll want to check out. It’s your traditional tea room with a Torrance twist. They have fun, themed tea experiences like their Barbie Afternoon Tea and just about any kind of tea you can imagine with amazing salads, sandwiches and the most beautiful little desserts to complement any brunch outing.
Caffe Tre Venezie is a super classy, Italian coffee spot right on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). You’ll get that European coffee experience with spectacular pastries and then you can just drive up the coast a bit or hang out along the shore.

Thanks to the famous Randy’s Donuts, Los Angeles is known for these pastries and Torrance has more than stepped up to the plate. We have our own Randy’s Donuts right on Hawthorne Blvd, offering the same world-famous donuts that have earned Randy’s its reputation as one of the top donut shops in the country.
At Torrance Bakery they kill it on all the classic donuts and then step it up with a variety of scones and muffins. Feel free to grab some petit fours or their amazing cupcakes for later, like their Boston Crème or Maple Bacon. They also do all kinds of fun events like making gingerbread houses at Christmas and sugar cookies at Easter.
Sidecar Doughnuts is another specialty donut shop you really should check out. Their donuts are hand-crafted deliciousness, but it’s the artistic flair and inventive flavors that really set them apart like Vegan Huckleberry Peanut Butter Drizzle or Salted Malted Cookie Dough.
With more than 400 different restaurants, you’ll find everything from the classic to the quirky in Torrance.
